Previous sightings
The Driven reported the latest sightings of Tesla’s Supercharger installation in Tramsheds, Sydney. It noted that there may be about 3 Supercharging stalls at the site.

Significance
Tesla’s fast-paced expansion of its Supercharger expansion is crucial for Australia to sufficiently support the surging number of electric vehicles on its roads. According to the report, EV registrations have now crossed the 130,000 unit threshold, with a strong potential to grow further.
Notably, Tesla has recently achieved its 50,000th Superchargers milestone across the world. The Jubilee Supercharging stall is at a site in the United States, featuring Tesla’s special ultra-red color.
Tesla’s major initiatives in expanding its Supercharging network in Australia can substantially boost the country’s shift to e-mobility. It aids the Australian Government’s efforts to alleviate the prevalence of range and charging anxiety among owners and encourage new customers to join the global electrification drive.
